Imagine from my own mind: Imagine Thorin pointing out that the obvious to you when Dwalin shows you his new car. (Modern au)

This is just a little fic to keep you waiting for the next chapter on the babies. The next chapter is also going to be a filler so enjoy ;)

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"Why are we waiting in the cold again?" Thorin asked for the tenth time in ten minutes. He rubbed his arms to get some of the warmth back that he had lost.

You didn't respond to him. He would just receive the same answer he had heard nine times before;

"Dwalin told me to wait here and that is what we are doing right now. No, I don't know when he will show up. And no I also don't know what he wants me to see."

"I just think it is a bit strange that he is making his 'lassie' wait for him outside in the cold. Couldn't he have bought something that he can show you inside?" Thorin wrapped his arms around you. "Why are you so warm while I am so cold?" he whined.

"Possibly because I bought myself a new wintercoat the other day" you said. It was a dark blue coat with a white furred hood.

"Unfair" Thorin said, burrying his hands in your hood.

Only because you couldn't feel the cold of his hands did you allow him to keep his hands there. "I wonder what is taking him so long. He said that he would be there in a few minutes."

Thorin laid his head on top of yours. "And that was half an hour ago" he whispered. "Can't we go back inside? There is hot chocolate milk there that is screaming my name. I can hear it far off in the distance; "Thorin, I am all the way over here becoming a regular chocolate milk drink!" "

You laughed, trying to move your head so that you could look at him. "Then go inside. Dwalin wanted to show it to me not to my best friend" you said jokingly.

Thorin huffed. "He should be thankful that I am here keeping you warm while he is off."

"He is thankful, you know?"

"I know. He could have left a blanket though." Thorin disconnected himself from him and walked around.

Right around the corner of the street, a light blue Hyundai i800 drove into the street.

"Oh my God he bought a car" you said in amazement. Thorin stood beside you, laughing when he saw Dwalin sitting behind the wheel. "Why did he get rid of his red car?"

"You mean the red car of love?" Thorin asked dryly. That was how the car was known amongst your group of friends. Dwalin had picked you up in it for your first date and every date since then.

He had a motorcycle too but he loved to take you out for a spin in both. Showing off his ride and his 'lassie'. The nickname had once been a normal word, now it was only used for you.

Dwalin turned his window down as he approached you. "What do you think?" he shouted. A wide grin lighted his features.

"It looks great!" you shouted back. "But why did you get rid of your other car?"

The car was parked in front of your house. Dwalin proudly got out of his new car. "She is a beauty, isn't she?" he said, fondly petting the car door. "Got her this morning. Got a great deal for it after I showed them the car I was going to sell" he told Thorin.

Both man were staring at the car like Dwalin had bought a dog or brought home another living being.

"You got rid of your old car?" you asked again. Man...

Dwalin turned, throwing an arm around your waist. "Aye, I thought it would be a good idea. So here is our new baby. What do you think?"

Thorin opened the door and took a seat behind the wheel. "Soft fabric Dwal, did you keep that in mind when you bought it?" he teased. He opened a few things, looked beneath the chair. Finally, he nodded. "A great car" he concluded.

This earned him a proud smile from the other man. "That is why I bought her."

Thorin winked at him.

Your eyes drifted over the beige color of the chairs, the cd-player that would be bursting with pop hits and the two front- and six back seats. "There is a lot of space. And I love the color" you said slowly.

He nodded. "I thought this was a little calmer than the red." He didn't comment on the space. "We can take a drive in it this afternoon, you too Thorin. But for now I am hungry." He softly squeezed your behind. "I'll park her and we can get some hamburgers."

Dwalin didn't wait for your response and jumped back into the car.

Thorin and you got out of the way as he turned to get into the garage. As soon as the door was closed behind him, Thorin chuckled. He wanted to leave but you stopped him by putting your hand on his chest. 

"Not so fast. You just told him that it is a great car. Why are you so smug now?" you asked. If Thorin was laughing, you knew that something was up.

He shrugged. "It is quite easy to see, isn't it?"

You cocked your head to one side. "What is?"

Thorin ruffled your hair. "You are so cute when you don't see what is going on."

You wouldn't let him go just yet. "Just tell me already!"

Thorin looked at you for a moment. Amusement sparkled in his eyes. "What did he just buy? And don't say a car because that is not what I am talking about."

"That is the only answer I've got" you said. It wasn't clear to you what Thorin was talking about.

Thorin put a hand on your shoulder. "The red car of love was a two-seat that was lovely for the both of you. Now, after being boyfriend and girlfriend for about two years you are finally moving in together. And then he decides that he is switching his two-seat bachelor car for an eight-seat family car. Why do you think he would do that?"

Your mouth drops open. When you put all of that together...

"Just let me help paint the baby room when the good news comes in" Thorin says, walking back to the house smiling smugly.

"Love, are you coming?" Dwalin calls you from the front porch.

"Coming" you whisper.
